State Department of Transportation officials will close down I-80 west late Friday night in Wharton for road testing as emergency sinkhole repairs continue on I-80 east. Beginning at 11 p.m. Friday, until 5 a.m. Saturday, I-80 west bound will be closed and traffic detoured at Exit 34B in Wharton.

The sinkhole has been filled, but the eastbound lanes are still closed. The westbound lanes will close from 11 p.m. Friday through 5 a.m. Saturday as crews continue boring and testing. "I’d be lying if I say I didn’t think twice driving west the other day,” said Renne. “It was a little sketchy.”
